A graphical text adventure game, in the style of Zork. However, it is virtually impossible to beat without the walkthrough.

Each Spectrum game may include a screen shot (.scr) of the title screen and .pok files. The .scr may be viewed in WSpecEm, and the .pok files are used for cheating purposes (read them in a text editor). The Z80 is acclaimed by many as the best Spectrum emulator currently available. This shareware version will play most Spectrum games, but some games run too quickly in most cases. The x128 is our favorite, and it has good speed. We don't really like WSpecEm, but keep it because it displays all or almost all Spectrum file types.

Z80 Emulator Instructions

The Spectrum Emulator is shareware. It should be operated in DOS mode or at least a full DOS window, but an examination of the switches will allow for playing in an individual window. To play a game with the .Z80 extension, push F3 and type in the path and name of the file. It is best to have the file in the same directory as the emulator so that you will only have to type the name. You must, however, always use the proper (.Z80) extension. Pushing F2 will allow you to save a full RAM image of your game. Load this in the same manner as any other .Z80 file. There may be a switch that forces the emulator to run at the same speed as a real Spectrum, but I have not found one that works. The He-Man game, and the Masters of the Universe movie game both run too quickly to play, and the text adventure is probably running too fast. The controls are as follow:

F5 loads games. F6 saves RAM images. F10 exits the program. Masters of the Universe: Terraquake:Actions are controlled by typed commands. Letters and numbers seem to work normally, and the key enters the command.

This emulator does not seem to allow full-screen mode. I am really not to certain as to the relative speed of this emulator. Its good points include the setup program which installs itself to the start menu and associates most Spectrum file types to itself. The most important reason to have this emulator is the ability to view such types as .scr.

Masters of the Universe: Terraquake:Actions are controlled by typed commands. Letters and numbers seem to work normally, and the key enters the command.
